Our Welcoming Home!

Last year, I began my first year of retirement from teaching by creating "Read to Me" pillows. I was advised by former colleagues to take a trip, get out of town, have some fun, and take your mind off not starting a new school year. (Contrary to what some may think, most teachers do enjoy the excitement of opening a new school year, and welcoming another group of boys and girls.) I admit, I had my annual "back to school preparation anxiety dreams" last year, (and this year), too. I guess when you've done something for 37 years every August, it is just embedded in your personal calendar.
